Introduction

Recently, I have decided to free form my locs. With this being my second loc journey and I am 5 months in, I was beginning to get bored and frustrated with my hair. I was actually considering combing my locs out and going back to being a loose natural. The thought of spending endless hours on my hair gave me second thoughts though. So I decided to research free form locs.

I was surprised to find that there was very little information available on the process and how few people, especially women decide to take this route. What I did find out is that I am and have always been (even with my first set of locs) a semi-freeformer. I like to go quite some time in between retwisiting my hair. There are several reasons for this (1) I like to see my new growth and touch it, (2) I do not like the look of over-twisted locs. Some peoples locs never swell because they constantly retwist on a daily or weekly basis and this is not healthy for locs.

So because of my decision I have started this blog and I see freeforming as a lifestyle and an idea that can be applied to life, love and hair. I hope that you enjoy reading my thoughts and experiences as I attempt to live free, love free, and free my hair---truly!
